This will be my first trip to the Hoosier 100 and was wondering if anybody knew what the gate charges and time it opens? Thanks in advance.

Gates open at 3 p.m. (according to their radio commercials), with warmups at 5, time trials at 6 and racing at 7. I think tickets are $30, with $5 off coupons available at Indianapolis Kroger stores (if you don't have time to stop at Kroger, sometimes you can pick up a coupon from somebody near the ticket windows).

I already have my tickets and they cost $25

can you take a small cooler into the grandstands?
